Australia desperately need a win. The team led by Tim Paine came to the UAE last month in hopes of turning around a dismal year. They also hoped to bag a few wins before welcoming India for the crucial multi-format series in November. The Aussies were outclassed in every sense in the two Test matches against Pakistan. While they clung onto a draw in the first Test, the second Test saw the side from Down Under lose resoundingly to a team that had its fair share of issues to sort out. While many would argue that the conditions didn't favour the Aussies, the first T20 opened up a lot of cracks as Australia lost comprehensively to a supercharged Pakistan team. Yet to win a series in UAE, Australia now head to the third T20 in hopes of salvaging something out of the tour.

While these problems certainly continue to haunt the Australian team management, Fantasy Cricket players have issues of their own. In a series where every match brings out a new impact player, it can get pretty difficult to form a combined XI. But that's where we come into the picture. Check out our top five picks for the Pakistan vs Australia 3rd T20 match:

1. Babar Azam - Batsman, Pakistan

Babar Azam got out of his comfort zone, batting one-down and opened the innings for Pakistan against Australia in the first T20. Having had a brilliant start to his career, he made the most of the opportunity and scored a quick-fire 68 -- a knock which laid the foundation to Pakistan's innings. Although the hosts didn't really capitalise on the start, the total turned out to be enough and Azam played his part to perfection. He is in good nick and can get you a lot of points.

2. Faheem Ashraf - Bowler, Pakistan

It's a tough choice when you have not one but two great pacers in good form on your team. Pakistan currently have Imad Wasim and Faheem Ashraf on their side. Faheem Ashraf has been a really good bowler for Pakistan off late and will look to carry forward the same form into the series. Ashraf has a knack for getting wickets and will be an asset for your Fantasy Cricket team.

3. Imad Wasim - All-rounder, Pakistan

What a turnaround Imad Wasim is having. After missing out on the Asia Cup in September, Wasim exploded onto the scene with three wickets of the Aussie top-order. This move displaced the innings completely in the first T20. Chasing a modest score of 155, Australia didn't recover from the spell and kept losing wickets when they tried to increase the run rate. Wasim is an impact player and will definitely be a point bank for your Fantasy Cricket team.

4. D'Arcy Short - Batsman, Australia

There is no other batsman who is in better form than D'Arcy Short in the current Australian line-up. Short is an expert T20 player, having made a name for himself in the Big Bash League and is currently playing his favourite format. Short can get you a lot of points if Australia manages to get off to a good start.

5. Billy Stanlake - Bowler, Australia

Billy Stanlake has taken over the reins from Mitchell Starc and is playing the role of Australia's frontman to perfection (almost). The right-arm fast bowler was hitting the sweet spot in the first T20 and looked like he was in the groove picking up three wickets and restricting Pakistan to just 155. Should he continue to perform this way, he could be key to Australia's strategy moving forward.
